Havana
The short answer
Saudi citizens need an eVisa to enter Cuba. An eVisa has to be applied for and approved online before travelling to Cuba. On arrival: every passenger must complete the D'Viajeros advance traveller information form before arriving. The Ministry of Transport describes it as a mandatory digital form serving the Directorate of Identification, Immigration and Foreign Nationals, the General Customs of the Republic, and the Ministry of Public Health. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. This was last checked on 19 September 2026.

Reconsider Travel
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the whole of Cuba due to shortages of fuel, food, and medicine, repeated power grid failures, and related disruption to transport, medical care, and communications. International card payments have been banned since 6 June, so visitors need to carry enough cash for their whole stay. Some international airlines have suspended flights, which may limit departure options.
